The project aim is helping students with innovative methods to develop key and other competencies and in this way to make the knowledge useful and students more useful as potencial future employees. This will be achieved by an intensive international cooperation of teachers of art, of foreign languages, of the mother tongue, of (social) science (biology, chemistry), ICT teachers, their students and experts in the field of communication and publishing. The cooperation is divided into different areas: research, developing, writing, design, publishing, dissemination.
5,5 million young people are unemployed in the EU today, which means that every fifth citizen, younger than 25 can't find a job. The reasons are in the economic crisis and falling numbers of work places but also in inadequate education or unskilled young work force.
The knowledge young people gain is often partial, theoretical, reproductive; young people can't use it in unfamiliar situations, hence it is unuseful. Even though they gain a multitude of information during their studies, they do badly when they have to solve problems or show basic skills (PISA studies – there are no European countries among the best). Partially that can be the consequence of inefficient teaching methods, "compartmentalization of knowledge", according to school subjects, focus on memorizing information rather than the development of transversal competences, which would allow young people to find themselves in new situations.
An additional problem of today's school is that we don't really know what we are preparing our children for. "Of the 10 most wanted jobs today, only 2 existed eight years ago. So, what we are teaching in our schools today, won't be needed in the future" (dr. R. Rajović, MENSA International)
The European framework for key competences for lifelong learning has been used in many EU countries as a reference point for reforming national education and training systems. It has contributed to the move towards a more competence-based teaching and learning approach. Progress has been significant on school curricula and in giving transversal key competences a more prominent part therein. This does not mean that the objectives are achieved in this area. These competences should be developed by all teachers in all subjects, but only few really do that since the responsibilities are spread among all of them. Besides that, this is a completely new area of expertise. Teachers haven't been trained for competence teaching and do not exactly know how to deal with it in class. Another problem is also that key competences cannot really be developed in an environment where teachers see only to the boundaries of their subject area. There have been some movements made (cross-curricular integration, project days) but all these forms are very short (hour or two) and limited to two or three similar objects, so they don't represent the actual interdisciplinary approach to acquiring knowledge. A step forward is a modular approach that attempts to combine the objectives of at least some of the subjects (eg. Science, social sciences ...)
We should look for the solution of these problems in a different school, new approaches to teaching and learning. Young people need interdisciplinary knowledge, learning on the basis of solving authentic problems and development of key competences. To prepare youngsters for real life, schools have to work with local communities, learn about their needs and co-operate with them. In this way the youngsters will learn about their career possibilities and the requirements for jobs.
We will develop and try out an example of interdisciplinary and competence focused approach to teaching. We will develop an appropriate plan of teacher training, interdisciplinary (topic) teaching material and a practical learning tour which will be tested in practice. The main focus will be placed on tourism – because all these areas have enormous touristic potential that is not being just.
